Everything pertaining to these new lines is
watched with deep interest on both sides of the
line. On Monday morning the nnsl location of
the line was begun. The line starts out from the
main stem between the depot and the junction
of the Albany and cambridge divisions. 1t
passes up on the west side of the Lester branch,
crossing the Duncanvile road about one mile
from town from thence it runs toward Wards
creek, leaving the Magnolia road few hundred
yards east. This road. the Magnolia, is crossed
on the Mccartney place just this side Of the creek.
II is generally anderstood that the line will pass
between Dan Forests former residence and Mr..
John Thomas. From thence it pushes on by
the most direct line to tho State line near Mr..
Levi Carriers. There the junction of the two
roads will be made. Yesterday the corps was
locating through the Mccartney placs about five
miles from town. Work will be commenced at
at an early day. Captain Jshn Reynolds, the
Chief Engineer, has been at home sick this week,
but the work has been progressing under Mr..
Jenkins direction. These lines will open upthe

1t seems that the long talked of and much
needed railroad through this county is at last as
Stunning tangible shape. A party of gentlemen
visited our county last week in the interest of
the above road, and we are reliably informed
that preliminary survey will be made at an
early day. The route will be permanently To-
Gated and work begun by the first of September,
and, as the term Of building is limited to eigh-
teen months. the work will be pushed rapidly for
ward. The commencement OF this work will at
once bring about mighty change in the good
old county of Wakulla, and ere the last spike is
driven home, boom, equal to a western cy-
clone, will be upon US. For the past twenty
years our county has been, as it WERE shut off
from the outside world. with no means of show
ing our many attractions to the thousands Of
visitors who yearly flock 10 Florida seeking
homes in her sunny CLINE. But q bright future
is now in store for old Wakulla and her good
citizens. The time is not far distant when the
tide OF immigration will be pouring in upon us,
and our thousands OF acres of fertile lands, now
lying idle, occupied by prosperous and happy
families. We extend the right hand of citizen
ship to all good and honest people, and bid
